Barbour, Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley 2015

As
you probably already know, Jim Barbour is one of the most sought after
viticulturists and vineyard managers in the valley having been responsible for
tending vines for some of the most elite wineries (Hundred Acre, Grace Family,
Checkerboard, Blankiet, Revana, The Vineyardist, and more). Combined with the talented winemaking skills
of Celia Welch (who also consults for Keever Vineyards, Lindstrom,
Hollywood & Vine, and her own label, Corra), the two possess an affinity for greatness with this world class wine.

Coming
from Jim's own vineyard on the western side of the valley, just south of Saint
Helena and 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2015 vintage is classic Celia. Super opulent with dark blue/black fruit
aromas, exotic spice, and cocoa fill the glass.
The palate is full bodied with layers of juicy dark berry flavors, plum,
chocolate, and rich, supple tannins. An
incredibly lush, luxurious, and sensual wine.
